Real History, Meet Tea-Bag History

Maturity.
Maine Gov. Paul LePage (R) has ordered the removal of a 36-foot mural depicting the state's labor history from the lobby of the Department of Labor headquarters, according to WMTW-TV.

A spokesman said the mural was "not in keeping with the department's pro-business goals and some business owners complained."

At least he's honestly pro-business. But seriously, does he think suppressing history makes it less true? Secondly, why is it politically fine to be "pro-business?" I mean, I don't think one should be "anti-business" either, but it's now politically cool to stack the deck their way?
